Definitions
- Optical sensor fiber with a bending-sensitive zone sensor with such a sensor fiber and method for its production
- the invention relates to an optical sensor fiber with a bending-sensitive zone, which is equipped with surface-treated fiber sections, in which the optical damping is increased compared to the untreated remainder of the sensor fiber. Furthermore, the invention relates to an optical sensor with a sensor fiber of the type specified, at one end of a light source, in particular a light ⁇ diode for coupling measuring light into the sensor fiber is provided and at the other end a transducer, in particular a photodiode for the sensor fiber casualkop ⁇ pelte measuring light is arranged. In addition, the inven ⁇ tion relates to a method for producing a sensor fiber of the type specified.
- a sensor fiber of the type specified in the introduction or an optical sensor with such a sensor fiber or a method for the production thereof is described, for example, in CA 2 424 708 A1.
- This sensor fiber can be processed into a sensor strip examples of play, wherein a plurality of sensor fibers are arranged in this strip is running parallel ⁇ .
- the sensor fibers in the sensor band are provided with a light source and a transducer, on the one hand to be able to couple measuring light into the sensor fibers and, on the other hand, to be able to convert the coupled-out measuring light, for example, into an electrical sensor signal.
- the CA can be according 2424708 Al for example, a Bie ⁇ gesensor realize a motor vehicle for the bumper, of the impact of a pedestrian by a particular encryption determines pattern of the bending sensor and passes it on to a control ⁇ device that triggers appropriate measures to protect the pedestrian.
- a surface treatment which increases the damping properties of the sensor fibers in these areas as a function of the present bend.
- a surface treatment may consist of a mechanical treatment, in particular roughening of the surface. This is effected, for example, by a sandblasting process of the surface or by a hot embossing process, with the result that a larger amount of the light transmitted through the sensor fiber is lost in the area of the surface-treated fiber section compared to untreated fiber sections in the case of a straight-running sensor fiber, ie a higher attenuation of the sensor fiber is caused.
- the amount of light lost in the area of the surface-treated fiber section depends on the bending of the sensor fiber in this area. This results in a bending-sensitive zone, where ⁇ in the case that the surface-treated Faserab ⁇ section is bent concavely, the attenuation is reduced and in the event that the surface-treated fiber section is bent convexly, the attenuation is increased. From the amount by ⁇ evaluation of the coupled-measuring light at the end of the sensor fiber is therefore a conclusion on the state of deformation of the sensor fiber and the optical sensor is possible.
- CA 2 424 708 A1 further deals with possible embodiments of the flex-sensitive zones with the aim that the deformations characteristic of a pedestrian impact can be achieved by achieving a defined sensor result as clearly distinguishable from other states of deformation of the bending-sensitive sensor, such as a frontal impact.
- the measurement results are subject to a certain range of variation, which in extreme cases also the uniqueness of the measurement result dangerous ⁇ can.
- a sensor strip of the type mentioned above can be provided with a relatively long bending-sensitive zone. This is the bending sensitivity of the treated sections over a greater length of the sensor fiber distributed, with this advance ⁇ reduction is that having a large enough radius to be measured bends that each untreated sections to be bridged.
- a pair of sensor fibers may also be arranged in a sensor band, which optically communicate with each other with their surface-treated sections in such a way that a bending-dependent transmission of light from one sensor fiber to the other sensor fiber takes place.
- the object of the invention is to provide an optical Sen ⁇ sorfaser or an optical sensor having such a sensor fiber and a method for producing such a sensor fiber, the sensor fiber is intended to provide relatively good predictable results for a selected deformation case.
- the initially genann ⁇ th optical fiber sensor in that the bending-sensi tive ⁇ zone formed by an untreated fiber section which extends between two surface-treated fiber sections, wherein the sensor fiber is a multi-mode fiber.
- the invention is based, in other words on the constructive measure to consider the untreated fiber sections between two treated fiber sections as bending-sensitive zone, that is not treatable ⁇ th fiber sections in the areas to be arranged, in which a bend of the sensor fiber is to be evaluated, but just the untreated fiber sections between the treated fiber sections.
- the treated fiber sections are arranged outside the bend-sensitive zone.
- bending-sensitive zone within the meaning of the invention is the one from ⁇ section of the optical fiber sensor understood, in which a change in deflection of the sensor fiber is to be determined on the basis of the PRESENT use case.
- this is derje ⁇ nige region inside of the bumper, in which the impact of the legs of a pedestrian generating a protective measure in the motor driving ⁇ should trigger.
- the consideration according to the invention of the untreated fiber sections between the treated fiber sections is based on the surprising finding that these areas also influence the sensor result as a function of the bending present there.
- the measurement light is preferably higher in the surface-treated fiber sections, provided that the sensor fiber is a multimode fiber (which allows a passage of several modes of the measurement light) Modes (ie measuring light with steeper reflec- tion angles on the walls of the sensor fiber) can be coupled out of the surface-treated fiber section.
- Modes ie measuring light with steeper reflec- tion angles on the walls of the sensor fiber
- the sensor fiber has exactly two surface-treated fiber sections.
- the bending-sensitive zone then lies exactly between the two surface-treated fiber sections.
- the flexure sensitive zone can be made almost as long as desired. This advantage results from the fact that the attenuation of the untreated fiber section is very low, that is, moves in terms of amount in the areas that are specified by the optical fiber used for the sensor fiber. Regardless of the length of the bending-sensitive zone, only two surface-treated fiber sections are necessary - unlike sensor fibers according to the prior art Technique in which repeatedly surface-treated Faserab ⁇ sections must be provided as bending-sensitive zones.
- a particular embodiment of the invention is obtained when the surface-treated fiber sections are provided only in one half of the sensor fiber. This is preferred that the half of the sensor fiber on the direction of the passage of the measuring light forms, with respect the downstream Hälf ⁇ te.
- the upstream half through surface-treated for the first fiber section can then be used to before a decoupling of the measuring light
- a possible ⁇ lichst substantial mode mixing to achieve, can be predicted more accurately so that the extraction of measuring light in the first surface-treated fiber section. This makes it possible to achieve a further improvement in the accuracy of the measurement results.
- An optical sensor may be according to the invention provided with the NEN-described ⁇ fiber.
- the sensor fiber that is untreated in the first half, ten half is arranged to extend parallel to the two ⁇ .
- the sensor fiber is so to speak in the middle provided with a turning loop. This allows the sensor fiber advantageously be arranged space-saving manner, wherein both the light source and the measuring ⁇ transducers can be arranged in a housing and in which the sensor fiber can be inserted with its two adjacent ends. It is also advantageous if the bending ⁇ sensitive zone of the sensor fiber is embedded in an elastic Tragkör- per.
- the surface treatment of the sensor fiber is carried out taking into account the application case, in that the surface-treated fiber sections lie at the ends of the bend-sensitive zone to be produced.
- the Fa can serabritte in the bending-sensitive zone be integrated where ⁇ at these then define the respective ends of the bending-sensitive zone.
- the surface-treated fiber sections can be particularly advantageously also outside the bie ⁇ sensitive zone, whereby a particularly accurate measurement result can be achieved.
- Zone to be generated in the sensor band is specified event to the effect by the application ⁇ that the sensor strip to the Geo ⁇ geometry of the mounting position must be adjusted.
- the choice of the fiber material primarily influences the degree of mode mixing, which can be achieved bend-dependent in the sensitive zone.
- the type of surface treatment, for example laser ablation, or hot embossing primarily influences the mode-dependent decoupling behavior of the surface-treated fiber sections.
- the geometry of the surface-treated Faserab ⁇ sections can be varied to primarily affect the bending dependence of a coupling of measuring light.
- the surface treatment of the fiber section made over the entire circumference of the fiber so a bending dependence is largely eliminated, thereby commentaryge ⁇ represents may be that the bending-sensitive zone is not stretched into published in the surface-treated fiber sections. If a surface treatment is carried out only on one side of the cross section of the sensor fiber, then a strong bending dependence results in the coupling out of measuring light.
- Figure 1 shows schematically the structure of an embodiment of a sensor with the sensor according to the invention Serorfa ⁇ , which are marked on this characteristic points a to f
- Figure 2 shows possible damping curves of the sensor fiber, the points a to f are marked and
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a sensor tape, are embedded in the three embodiments of the sensor fiber according to the invention.
- a sensor 11 has a sensor fiber 12, which is laid in a loop, wherein a first half 13 of the sensor ⁇ fiber runs parallel to a second half 14 of the sensor fiber. With the two ends of the sensor fiber is mounted in a housing 15 for a laser diode 16 for coupling Mess ⁇ light in the sensor fiber 11 and a photodiode 17 for coupling out the transmitted measuring light.
- the measurement light travels through the first half of the sensor fiber 12 from a to b, whereby any non-uniformities of the measurement light coupled in by the laser diode are compensated by a mode mixture.
- measuring light of preferably higher modes is coupled out in a first treated fiber section 18a (from c to d).
- the measuring light passes through an untreated Faserab ⁇ section 19, wherein in the illustrated straight state of the sensor fiber, only a small mode mixing occurs.
- the damping as it affects the measuring light in the sensor fiber 12, is shown schematically, wherein the points a to f are shown.
- the damping In the first half 13 of a to b due to the length of the sensor band as well as in the second half b to e, which is only slightly shorter, a certain light extraction takes place, which is largely independent of bending.
- the damping In the turning region b to c of the sensor fiber 12 is the damping is negligibly small, since this region is very short relative to the length of the sensor fiber, and the bending radius is selected so that a loss ⁇ free transmission of light in this region of the sensor fiber 12 is possible.
- the attenuation in the two treated fiber sections 18a, 18b is strongest, with the amount of coupled-out light in the treated fiber section 18d being highly dependent on the bend-dependent mode blend in the untreated section 19. This results in dependent on the effective attenuation in the treated fiber portion 18b, a region for measurement values Ax, which permits a return circuit to be present in the untreated fiber section 19 ⁇ de bend. ⁇ x thus represents the evaluable measured value range when the untreated fiber section 19 is used as the bending-sensitive zone 20a.
- Figure 3 illustrates a possible practical embodiment, the sensor ⁇ fiber 12.
- Three of the sensor fibers 12 are embedded as a supporting body 21 in an elastic sensor band.
- the sensor tape may for example consist of a rubber-elastic plastic ⁇ material.
- an insert 23 defining the radius of the turning loop is provided in the turning loop.
- One of the sensor fiber 12 is partially shown without the sheath of the support body 21. Evident is the Oberflä ⁇ chen adaptation the surface-treated fiber section 18a. This simultaneously defines the beginning of the untreated fiber section 19 and thus the position of the bending-sensitive zone 20a.
- the further fibers 12 may have staggered treated fiber sections (not shown), so that a spatial resolution in the sensor band 21 is possible by evaluation of all sensor fibers.
